Re: Man from U.N.C.L.E. dies

I still have my Corgi Man from U.N.C.L.E car which when you press the thingymebob on top of the car they lean out and fire bullets; it's a bit worse for wear from my childhood, but hey, it still works.

Rest in peace David McCallum and thanks for being a childhood hero of mine.

Re: Clear and obvious errors and refs going to the screen

VAR needs to be binned as does the over analysis of every refereeing decision.

It is a good point but should have been three points. Sadly football has got lost with the money and thirty different camera angles, always said it would and it has become a farce at the top level.
